I didn't install gnome SDK and the gnucash-dev package.

I removed the older GnuCash versions.
$ flatpak uninstall <app ID>  (where app ID in this case is 
org.gnucash.GnuCash.)

Please see my reply to John.

I assume after removing the old versions the correct runtime is used.  
The application looks ok and there are no issues so far.

Bruce
